For Shenzhen–Chengdu flights, the weight concept applies. In Economy Class, checked baggage allowances are 25kg for Lite and Value fares, and 30kg for Standard and Flexi fares. In Business Class, the checked baggage allowance is 40kg. Each checked bag must not exceed 32kg.

For cabin baggage, Economy Class passengers may bring 1 piece up to 7kg, while Business Class passengers may bring 2 pieces, each up to 7kg. The final allowance for your trip is shown on your e-ticket, and KrisFlyer Elite Gold and PPS Club members enjoy additional allowances.

Wi-Fi is available on Singapore Airlines flights on this route once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet. It is free and unlimited for KrisFlyer members; Economy Class members must add their membership number to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Paid plans are available for non-members.

The connection is designed for messaging, email, and basic browsing. It does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers, helping to keep the service stable for all users on board.

On the Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu sectors, Economy Class seats offer a pitch of around 32 inches, with up to 19 inches of seat width, providing comfortable personal space for the journey. Business Class seats convert into fully flat beds, with every seat offering direct aisle access for added privacy and ease of movement.

The specific seating configuration may vary slightly by aircraft, but both the Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 787-10 are equipped to deliver a comfortable experience in both cabins on this route.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore. Your eligibility is based on your class of travel or your KrisFlyer and Star Alliance status, and it is determined by your flight leaving Singapore. Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

Lounge Access Eligibility
Cabin Class: Complimentary for Suites, First, and Business Class passengers. Premium Economy and Economy travellers do not have access unless they hold eligible status.

Frequent Flyer Status: PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold (or Star Alliance Gold) members have access regardless of cabin class.

The 'Next Segment' Rule: Eligibility is based on the flight immediately departing that airport. For example, if you fly Economy from Shenzhen but have a Business Class onward flight from Singapore, you get lounge access in Singapore only. In Singapore, eligible passengers may use facilities such as the SilverKris Lounge (First Class), SilverKris Lounge (Business Class), and KrisFlyer Gold Lounge.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining an official transit tour into the city, which typically requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours of connection time. This is a convenient way to see highlights of Singapore without handling your checked baggage.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy Changi Airport’s gardens, themed rest areas, nap zones, and playgrounds. Selected terminals also offer attractions such as art installations and viewing decks so you can stretch your legs between flights.

If you prefer to rest, consider an airport hotel or quiet seating areas to relax before continuing to Chengdu. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Shenzhen and Chengdu are both in China and share the same time zone, China Standard Time (UTC+8). Neither city observes daylight saving time, so there is no time difference between Shenzhen and Chengdu at any time of the year.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Chengdu when flying from Shenzhen via Singapore on a single booking with Singapore Airlines.

Through-Check Conditions
For your bags to be sent directly to your final destination, the following general conditions must be met:

Single Itinerary: Both flight segments (Shenzhen–Singapore and Singapore–Chengdu) must be under the same booking reference or PNR.

Layover Duration: Your connection in Singapore must be less than 24 hours. If your layover exceeds 24 hours, it is considered a stopover, and you will typically be required to collect your luggage and re-check it for your onward flight.

Partner Airlines: If your onward flight from Singapore to Chengdu is operated by a partner airline, Singapore Airlines has through-check agreements that usually allow your bags to be tagged to your final destination.

You may be able to plan a stopover in Singapore on your Shenzhen–Chengdu trip, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
